Meet Chima, also known as Junior, the son of a family where his father instilled in him to exercise dominance over everyone, including his own mother. This upbringing led Chima to become disrespectful towards women, viewing them as inferior.
The story of Chima, as depicted in Deafening Silence, sheds light on a common reality in many households today, where men are raised to believe women are beneath them and often turn into abusers. This eye-opening movie is currently making waves in cinemas nationwide, thanks to the EU-UN Spotlight Initiative advocating for gender equality and women’s empowerment in Nigeria.
Supported by the government of Nigeria, the European Union, and the United Nations, this initiative focuses on gender equality, women’s empowerment, and combating gender-based violence and violence against women. Produced by the UNDP, Deafening Silence uses powerful storytelling to address critical issues such as gender equality and empowerment in Nigeria, sparking much-needed conversations and prompting social change.
